+1. I'm doing it on my own with:

(defun reposition-after-init ()
  "Re-position the frame in a display (Only for emacs 29 and above)"
  (when (> emacs-major-version 28)
    (let* ((monitor-attributes (frame-monitor-attributes))
           (work-area (assq 'workarea monitor-attributes))
           (x-min (nth 1 work-area))
           (y-min (nth 2 work-area))
           (new-x  (+ x-min 32))
           (new-y  (+ y-min 32)))
      (message "work-area: %s -> %d %d" work-area new-x new-y)
      (set-frame-position (selected-frame) new-x new-y))))

Hooked to the startup in

(add-hook #'after-init-hook #'reposition-after-init)

This works when you do NOT specify (left or top) in the default-frame-alist
or initial-frame-alist

It would be nice to have a (current-monitor . t) in the default-frame-alist
or initial-frame-alist to do this ;-)
